SpectraLink Corporation Installation
Link WTS – Link 3000 MCU
Part Number: 72-0059-01-J.doc Page 25
4.7 Install Demarc Blocks
The demarcation blocks used to connect the telephone system and Base Stations to
the MCU should be installed on a typical telephone facility backboard. A 1/2” or
3/4” thick board mounted on the wall near the MCU is typical. Although this
manual uses 66 blocks as examples, any standard cross-connect blocks are
acceptable.
If the wiring between the MCS300 and the telephone system leaves the
building, consult the telephone system manual, the NEC, and local
codes for instructions on providing lightning and other over-current
protection.
4.8 Program Telephone System
Plan Location of Lines and Base Stations on Interface Modules
Each Interface Module can support 16 handsets and six Base Stations. Consider the
usage and traffic patterns at this site in determining the placement of lines and Base
Stations on each Interface Module. To obtain maximum calling capacity, locate
handsets and Base Stations which will be used by those telephones on the same
shelf.
Interface Modules of different interface types may be mixed within a
shelf. However, within a given Interface Module, all ports must interface
to the same type of telephone system.
Assign and Program Ports
The wire contractor should inform the system administrator which port numbers
have been designated for the handsets and the remote diagnostics modem line.
The system administrator must assign extension numbers to the handsets and plan
the functions (trunk access, toll restrictions, system features, ringing options etc.) to
be programmed for the handsets. This programming will be done after the handsets
are registered, but will be faster if it is planned in advance by verifying the parameters
and features on the current telephone system and-wired phones.
For details, refer to the
LinkPlus Interface Guide
for the type of telephone system for
the system controller in use.
